If looking to spend $1078, hold out for the GE set (6800 series) as they are better with an internal water heater that gives you a sanitize and anti-bacterial feature. Good for kitchen rags, bed sheets, bed bug concerns, etc.

Great set! Most of the sub $1,000 do not have this, heck most over $1,000 don't have that.

Can be PM'ed at sears with 200 series model (white), Leons will pricematch and include free delivery ( 200 serties whites.)

No other PM's are avail. If there are any cupons or PM's please post.

NOW Leons also posting in thweir flyer a Sammy set for $1078 and has another set of Sammy's for $1098 just via their washer/dryer llink .

As for Leons and the others, make sure you check stock inventory before heading there. I was shopping for a Samsung WF218 washer, Leons has the best price but you have to wait at least a month for they to get inventory. I turned around to Sears and had them PM'd for immediate delivery (well, in 3 days, but good enough). I ended up paying a $40 more (the cost of delivery minus the 10% price delta I got from Sears) but get to replace the broken washer a full month sooner (and knowing full well they will be there for me if I should run into problem with this appliance during warranty period).

Yes, the internal heater is a good feature. I got that in my washer as well.

I would also double check Consumers Report and etc for reliability and performance rating before buying...

Have anyone notice USA prices?

I saw couple of these Whirlpool, Maytag, LG washer/dryer combo for 4 cubic + 7.3cubic models that are $600? how come we are still paying $1000+ for crappy Lg models? I have a pair from LG that I have to open the whole chassis just to clean out all the lint twice since it was not drying my load unless I run it 3 or 4 times(60min on high).
BTW I do clean that dryer vent every 3 months.

FS: Broadxent Creative Company-BritePort 8012-V $5, all modems have been used with Acanac,Teksavvy, Velcom and Electronicbox at one point in last 3 yrs. Bell 2 Wire 2701 model $20

But I'm wondering if any of the combos on sale now can be stacked on top of one another? Or would I need to place them side by side? Because I probably won't have space for side by side setting if that's the case!

If none of the "modern" washer/dryer can be stacked on top of one another, then I might have to resort to buy the one from FS (good thing they have tax free event right now). It's just that wife would much rather have a modern looking washer/dryer instead of the older retro look!

anyone with experience or tip on this issue?

much appreciated in advance! =)

Most of the new front loaders can be stacked, just look on the manufacturer page or a lot of times Futureshop or Home Depots site states this as well

Another question since I'm a total noob in this whole washer/dryer business....is the price trend likely to drop even further later on? Reason I'm asking is because my unit is still working fine but now with the home depot sale & futureshop's tax free event, I'm wondering if I should pull the trigger now or wait till later when my beatup unit is actually dying!

You usually must buy a stacking kit which seems to go for around $40 - unless you can get them to throw it in for free. I think the width is standard (around 27" I think), but the depth can change a lot. Ours stick out a *lot* more than the old set.

About waiting for it to fail: when ours failed, it was the main bearing and it leaked bearing oil all over the clothes - ruining them. I would suggest that if they are getting old, and you can afford it, replace them *before* they break. I was surprised at how important the washer and dryer are in our household!
